I want to know how much it'll be total for this setup, or if it'll even work...

I want to get a get intake manifold, throttle body, add a shaker system, and a new CAI.

I'm wondering if anyone has does this, has any suggestions, or a site that has a nice combo pack for it all.

 

What intake? I don't think there are any 4.6L intakes under 800, a nice t/b is around 300 or so, factor in another 800 for the shaker, and thats almost 2K

what CAI is ther that works with the shaker btw? and what intake? .

After market intakes shouldnt be hard to fab CAI for, but i dont know if the shaker kits will work with the CAI (it will probably still work with the new manifold though)

Either way, new intakes and shaker kits arent cheap

 

I think oh yah here's one ??

intake manifolds are under $400 from ford racing.

though... I might just opt to buy a s/c soon... depending on if I can find one for around $1500...

 

Link? I've never heard of such. I am intrigued

 

I'm thinking of doing just that maybe We shall see this Wed on how well they do with my fake scoop. If no good then a new hood ? or a Shaker with CAI like "Taco Bill's"

they have a few more on there as well for descent prices...

Plus, I can get a 10% discount b/c I know someone in the parts department at a FR dealer.

 

this is the package i'm looking to buy.

649.99 all together.

 

But this is really what i want for my car.



Brand new for $2395! I so wish i had 2400 bucks right now.

 

That engine will fit in a 99 to 04 engine bay?

 

yeah it can be done. I was looking for a new shortblock for my car cause i think mine needs a major overhaul but then i found this for not much more.. So i am really set on doing the swap.

But the 2005 3v engine weighs less then the 2v engine due to lighter weight cylinder heads and aluminum block. that engine is actually a iron block but will still be slightly lighter. and 40hp(list prob more like 60hp) extra out of the box.

I can only imagine.

 

too bad the 03/04 cobra engine isn't that cheap...

 

Chris, if you get a 3v in your car you'll be my hero

And Pat, you do realize the link you showed me is the stock 99-04 GT intake right? There wouldn't really be a performance improvement...

The one Chris posted is different, it's metal, and not a stock Ford piece

 

that was actually the better one of the cheap one's I've found... there was one from some p.o.s. company that was $150...

 

Thanks, thats really the whole reason i wanted to do it.

actually thats the one that came stock on the 01-04, the 99-00 didn't have the aluminum crossovers.

 

So it is an improvment for us chris!

Now I'm also thinking about stroking the engine out. How much power do you get from doing it though?

 

Well improvement in durability but not performance.

I read an article and by changin out the short block to a 5.4 and keeping everything else stock the engine did 300hp even. So a 40hp gain by bumping .8L so if you do a 5.0 stroker you should get 20hp increase right off the bat. and freeing up the intake and exhaust will also give you larger gains then a 4.6L.

 

know any good stroker kits out there for our engines?

Also, will I have to lift the engine out, or do I just take apart the engine and change out parts?

 

You'd ahve to take the engine out to change the rotating assembly.

I think this is a good one. http://www.seanhylandmotorsport.com/...cda16e0bcbf731

not cheap to do though...but it does give you forged internals.

 

Well my friends, I apologize. I guess I need to learn more about this derned motor. I have been humbled :worship:

And I'm glad you have your priorities straight Chris
